ReviewsPraise for THE JERUSALEM BIBLE (1966 edition): "This is one of those really monumental works.--There is just nothing like it in English, and I will not live long enough to see anything like it."--Father J. L. McKenzie, President, Society of Biblical Literature From the Hardcover edition.
TitleLeadingThe
SynopsisWhen it comes to Bible translations, readability and reliability are what count; and on both counts, the original JERUSALEM BIBLE stands alone. A product of the age of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), THE JERUSALEM BIBLE (published in 1966) was the first truly modern Bible for Catholics. Using definitive original language texts such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, biblical scholars of L'Ecole Biblique in Jerusalem produced a meticulously accurate, wonderfully readable French translation of the complete canon of Scripture (La Bible de Jerusalem). From this French original came the English edition, edited by renowned Bible scholar Alexander Jones. For all the people around the world who are discovering or revisiting the mysteries contained in the Scriptures, only a clear, understandable Bible translation will do. With language as exquisite but more modern than the King James Version, THE JERUSALEM BIBLE is the one they can trust. From the Hardcover edition.

  • Great.

    I am a Christian and the text has been translated into present day language. I usually stick with KJV but this bible is just good to get the real meaning of the verse. Also, Maccabees, Tobit, Judith, Baruch, Book of Wisdom are in this bible. Really love this bible.

  • Book of knowledge

    I received my book and it's very interesting. It will give the reader a different take on the Bible that is just now going main stream with God's name but there so many names that he is called by . no judgement read it and find your own term and what you think it means to you ..im reading a lot of books right now and finding things out that I didn't know so , to each it's own

  • The Jerusalem Bible

    The Jerusalem Bible is everything the New Jerusalem Bible is not! I highly recommend the the original version. The new version has been manipulated and I don't trust the translation.

  • A mediocre translation.

    This is a mediocre translation. According to my ranking system, it scores 59 as an overall translation, 49 for the New Testament, 76 for the Old Testament, and 50 as a pro-Trinitarian translation. 100 is a perfect score.
